The American Heart Association’s Heartsaver CPR in Schools Course is designed to teach middle and high school students the lifesaving skills of CPR, how to relieve choking, and how to use an AED (automated external defibrillator).

The course was designed to appeal to students through illustrations of teens and a unique training video featuring interviews with teens and edgy video footage. Also, the course’s modular format is intended to offer schools with the flexibility to teach the course over several class periods.

While Heartsaver CPR in Schools is one of several options schools can use to provide CPR training to their students, it is the only course that offers a credential or course completion card upon successful completion.

This course was specifically designed for middle and high school students. Schools that want to provide CPR and AED training to their students and also want their students to receive a Heartsaver CPR in Schools Course Completion Card should use this course.
